Kyle & I are going on a mini-vacation to Miami for a few days, where the only thing on my to-do list will be to curl up with a good book and relax on the beach :)

See you next week!

pop culture in color

One of my favorite Etsy artists, Elloh, created this oh-so-charming Flight of the Conchords print. I love that show hahah, it always makes me laugh. Some of her other prints include The Office (British and American versions), Lost, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. They are so much fun...I should know, I bought The Royal Tenenbaums one!

India someday

I'm SO happy Slumdog Millionaire won the Oscar - it's such a beautiful story. Seeing the movie really makes me want to visit...the people, the culture, the sights, and all of the colors everywhere. Really takes your breath away.

too cute for words

Haha, I know this video has been out for a few months but I still love it! That girl can dance :)

Have a great weekend!

pillow pillow pillow.

I've been following the adorable pillows by Aaron Stewart for over a year now, so I'm pleased to hear that they've expanded into 100% organic tote bags! You can even submit photos of your own furry friend in hopes that he will choose the breed for his next series. And yes, I'm still waiting for that bichon pillow to come out...

spring colors

I know it's only February, but I can't wait for spring after seeing Orla Kiely's new 2009 collection. Her cutesy whimsical patterns are just so lovely to look at. See the rest of the lookbook here.

She's also partnered with Target for a kitchenware line, my favorites are here and here. Aren't they adorable?

a secret garden

For Valentine's Day this year, I gave Kyle a little moss terrarium from madebymavis. It was so cute I almost wanted to keep it for myself...but then I remembered that I've killed just about every plant I've ever owned. Luckily for the moss, Kyle has the green thumb gene.

i really love breakfast.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, because it's what wakes me up from my post-sleep, semi-groggy state...not to mention there are so many options that you really can't go wrong.

That's why I love Jon Huck's photographs of real people and what they eat for breakfast.

While I can occasionally relate to the guy who eats pizza in the morning, there are some strange ones too (i.e. guy with toast topped with avocado slices)? I admit, my typical daily breakfast looks something like this:

Oh and you can even order the coffee table book as a gift!

Welcome!

So I know it's cheesy but one of my New Year's resolutions for 2009 was to start a blog. It's been awhile since my college xanga days and this time around it will be much simpler. If you know me well you know that I have a habit of reading/finding/hearing random things that I love and then telling other people about it - which I will still do, only now I will write about it here too!

Thanks for visiting :)
